Thread: Echo Isles Single Player

    Echo Isles Single Player

    This map enables a single person to play both players in an offline game. The purpose is to help test timing pushes and tower rushes with complete control over build order and tactics. Current version is 0.6. The map relies on the trick of making an enemy player your ally with control in order to allow you to build with both sides. Some features like auto leveling are not complete. Current commands include:

    -sp <num> : Set the game speed from 1 to 5
    -lv <num>: Level up the selected heroes to the given level
    -autolv : Take all heroes and pick their skills in the standard order (e.g. death coil before death pact)
    -autoup : Give players all the normal upgrades (Sorceress Adept training, Bear Master training, etc)
    -mul <num> : Create <num> copies of the selected unit(s)
    -gold : Temporarily give player 1 (Red) 400 gold for 3 sec then take it away.
    -moregold : Temporarily give player 1 (Red) 1000 gold and 200 wood for 3 sec then take it away.

    The last two commands require some explanation. Due to the trick I used to make it possible to control enemy units, a bug happens where the opponent (teal) is able to sell items but cannot buy items or mercenary heroes. Instead of buying items with teal's gold it buys with your gold (player 1 red). Right now the map uses a hack of adding the gold back to you and then deducting it from teal, printing an error if teal did not have enough gold. If player 1 doesn't currently have the resources to buy the item you can use -gold and -moregold to ensure the purchase happens.
